I think you need to get the car up in the air, supported by the wheels, and have someone push/pull on the wheel while you apply an automotive stethoscope to various point on and around the rear suspension to find the source of the noise.

The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Are your half shafts new or rebuilt? If rebuilt those large ball bearings could be defective> i had a similar problem and the large balls in the half shaft were not perfectly round and they made a poping sound on take off and cornering only one side was bad.
Good luck

Are your lug nuts tight?
If I understand what you are saying, you can push the wheel in and out?? Thats really bad. Check trailing arm bushings, and make sure the new cv axle is fully seated in the hub.My previous build (currently E30-less)

This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.Comment

Ya that would help alot. The weel has no play in it when I support the cars trailing arms with jacks.
They are rebuilt. But it doesnt do it when cornering only the intial load or unload of the suspension? Once IM driving it goes away.
Nothings lose If checked all of everything over and over.
Could it just be the springs scince it has gotten cold out?84 318I Delphin RIP

Do you have an open or limited slip rear end?

OK, I know this is a little bit of a thread grab...
That noise means that your LSD is working correctly, but you used a non-LSD gear oil. Add friction modifier an ounce at a time until the noise stops.
GM's friction modifier has a reputation for being the best available. After all of these year there are likely others just as good, but it's not worth your time to experiment.Comment
